Personal Growth Success

Many years ago, I used to work with a bunch of single guys. One, whom I’ll call Dave, was not very well liked by the other guys at work. This was due in part to the fact that he was a jerk.

Okay, there might have also been a bit of envy involved. You see, Dave seemed to easily get dates with many of the beautiful women in the area. This was a mystery to many of the guys at work, and even seemed unfair.

I would hear comments like, “That lucky (blank)! How does that jerk go out with all the beautiful women?” But the solution was clear to anyone who paid attention – he asked them out! Of course, he really was a jerk, so they usually said no. However, he just kept asking, until some of the woman said yes.

Now isn’t this so common? We wonder at the “luck” of others, when the key is that those lucky people are doing the simple things we are afraid to do.

Who is more likely to get a date? A man who asks out one woman or a man who asks out ten?

Who is more likely to get a raise at work, a woman who just quietly does a good job and hopes it’s noticed, or one that does a good job and asks for a raise?

I’m sure you have a bright idea hidden somewhere in the back of your mind that you just can’t wait to test out. Of course you’re not the only one with the bright idea. So what motivates you to churn those creative, or even inspiring juices to its utmost flavor?

It’s always best to set up a personal goal where you can accomplish the most in record time, maybe like mowing the lawn in an hour before the big game on TV. A correct and positive attitude in whatever you do will make things easier, and even enjoyable.

Here are some tips to make it through the week even if you’re just sitting in your favorite couch. An idea takes time to form in your head and is always at work while you are busy sitting.

Having a bit of positive thinking can help you realize things that are never thought possible. Thinking big is indeed the American Way and that what made our country prosperous.

1. Take passionate action towards living your life by design. Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.

This is a perfect example where dreams are made of where you start by tinkering with your mind, then with your hands. And if the idea weakens, you can always go back to it later until you finish it.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is – ‘The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’, and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too will change. When you are in depths of a tragedy or a life struggle, always remember not to give in to despair because “this too shall pass”.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments still seem unavoidable, try and make an effort to understand the situation and put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also more healthy. To be happy starts with the decision to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is fairly simple… choose to be happy.

Your whole day often depends on how you greet the morning. It’s no secret that often times when your morning gets off to a poor start, your day goes down with it into a spiral of negativity. Ever wake up and stumble out of bed only to find the day follows with one bad thing after another? It’s no mistake… once your mind takes you to a negative place it’s hard to turn it around unless you make a conscious effort to do so. It’s always beneficial to greet each day with energy, high spirits, and positivity. When you wake up in the morning, try to flood your mind with positive optimism about life and the day ahead. Reciting positive affirmations and counting your blessings are great morning rituals. And don’t forget to smile…it doesn’t cost a dime but its worth everything.
